Abstract
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested concerning: whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens,
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested
concerning: whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information shall have practical utility; the
accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the
[[Page 76040]]
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on the
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer
than 25 employees. The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid control number. No
person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a
valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before February
10, 2023. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but
find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this
notice, you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#75252734351316165b121a03"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="2e7e7c6f6e484d4d00494158">[email protected]</span></a> and to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#f09e99939f9c95de9f9e97959c95b0969393de979f86"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="3b55525854575e1554555c5e575e7b5d5858155c544d">[email protected]</span></a>.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the
information collection, contact Nicole Ongele, (202) 418-2991.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-0704.
Title: Sections 42.10, 42.11, 64.1900 and Section 254(g): Policies
and Rules Concerning the Interstate, Interexchange Marketplace.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently-approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 700 respondents; 2,800
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.50-2 hours.
Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirements, third party
disclosure requirements and recordkeeping requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in
section 254(g) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
Total Annual Burden: 2,450 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not
requesting that the respondents submit confidential information to the
Commission. If the Commission requests respondents to submit
information which respondents believe is confidential, respondents may
request confidential treatment of such information under 47 CFR 0.459
of the Commission's rules.
Needs and Uses: The four information collection requirements under
this OMB Control Number are information disclosure requirements,
internet posting requirements, recordkeeping requirements, and annual
certification requirements. These requirements are necessary to provide
consumers ready access to information concerning the rates, terms, and
conditions governing the provision of interstate, domestic,
interexchange services offered by nondominant interexchange carriers
(IXCs) in a detariffed and increasingly competitive environment. The
information collected under the information disclosure requirement and
the internet posting requirement must be disclosed to the public to
ensure that consumers have access to the information they need to
select a telecommunications carrier and to bring to the Commission's
attention to possible violations of the Communications Act without a
specific public disclosure requirement. The information collected under
the recordkeeping and certification requirements will be used by the
Commission to ensure that affected interexchange carriers fulfill their
obligations under the Communications Act, as amended.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
